This calendar is providing highlights of each week mentioning important Moon events
and the planetary influences for the week. Sometimes the planetary influences
are felt for several days and so I decided to write a brief summary for each week.
During this calendar period we have lunar and solar eclipses to influence the 2008 Olympics and the pending Democratic Convention.
The solar eclipse on Aug 1 will be within 3 degrees of Obama’s Sun. So, everything he was born to become is going to be the focus in the most public way. Interesting how astrology highlights what is the focus.
Week of JUN 22 to 28
Uranus goes Retrograde on the 27th Struggle with forward thinking could be the theme of this week. This is not the week to start a revolution or riot because those in control will react out of fear and excess. Still, you can take your dreams and cultivate your future step by step.
Ease with building something that is solid is a potential. Your talent with gardening, teaching, and organizing can be a gift this week.
Week of JUN 29 - JUL 5
***NEW MOON on the 3rd (2nd here in the states) Lunar Perigee on the 1st (close enough to be called a Super Moon).This begins a time of new ideas with pioneering potential. Just be sure to listen to what others are saying every once in awhile.
Week of JUL 6 – 12
This week starts out harmonious in the work place. Things that broke down in June could be fixed this week
Week of JUL 13– 19
Moon is Apogee on the 14th.
FULL MOON is on the 18th. This is an excellent week to express creative ideas, but watch the stress levels of those around you. Not everyone is on the same frequency this week.
Week of Jul 20 to 26
SUN enters Leo on the 23rd this week could seem like a continuation of the previous week but there are differences. Be conscious of how some would like to get noticed for the wrong things. Also, find ways to do things slightly differently than planned. Otherwise, stress and struggles are destructive.
Week of JUL 27 – AUG 2
Moon is at Perigee on the 29th. Total SOLAR ECLIPSE (New Moon) at 9 degrees Leo is on the1st. It could feel like a huge wave of opposition on the 29th and 30th, so the eclipse is close enough to add a super moon to the New Moon. The best of this week is the way people help others and accept responsibility for their future.
Week of AUG 3 – 9
Olympic Games begin on the 8th. If you like transformations and stories of bravery and heroism then you’ll like this week. Remember that heroic actions don’t have to be “running into a burning building to save someone”. Courageous action can be about how you speak to someone. This is a good week to face your fears.
Week of AUG 10 – 16
The LUNAR ECLIPSE (FULL MOON) is on the 16th at 24 degrees Aquarius. This looks like a week of intensity, action and excitement. Do something very physical and you will like this week. Find a way to help others. The Sabian Symbol for this eclipse is reminding all of us to become fully conscious of our ability to transmute emotional energies. We all carry a “spiritual body” along with our physical and we are meant to align the physical / material with the spiritual but if our emotions and ego wrestle for center stage we lose the delicate balance that this journey is all about.
Week of Aug 17 - 23
Mars enters Libra on the 19th and Sun enters Virgo on the 22nd providing a week of finding beauty, balance and fairness. This is an interesting week to act as a prelude to the week of the 2008 Democratic Convention. Note that the Solar and the Lunar eclipse of this month will have an effect on this event.
Barack Obama will have his Mars Return on the 7th and 8th of August and his artistic handle on language is going to be highlighted the following week.
ECLIPSE PATHS have a tendency to write history – example: a partial solar eclipse was visible in April 2005 in New Orleans. (Read more on page 8 of actual newsletter)…
The Lunar apogee is similar to a waning Moon phase when the energy is contracting and the Moon is farthest from the earth.
People tend to feel more anxious with this phase because they are aware that there is less and less time to get things done. Also, they could feel that there isn’t time for love. This is a stressful time.
The Lunar perigee is similar to a waxing or building Moon phase and the Moon is closest to the earth.Although this could produce moodiness it also can produce creativity and love.
** Super Moons are when the Moon is full or new and at the same time at perigee or apogee. The 24 hours within this cycle can affect tidal influences such as tsunamis.
